Default Need help running power from fuse panel to power seat

I bought a set of power seats for my 2005 Ram 1500, my original seats are not power. The harness from the new seat plugs into the harness in the truck, however the seat harness has an extra wire. Its orange with a red stripe, I'm assuming it powers the seats. I need to run a line from the fuses to the wire harness. I've never done this before. Do I tap a line into the power seat fuse and run it through the firewall and under the floor to the seat? I'll try to load pics of the two plugs.

What year truck did the seats come out of? If it was the same year should be plug and play.

The ad said 2007, but I doubt it. The seat was a direct plugin, but the power functions didn't work. They have manual recline and manual lumbar, basically the power was to move them forward/backward, up/down. I ended up mounting the seat onto the manual tracks of the old seat. So now I have more comfortable non-power leather seats. I really only wanted the jump seat with storage, they wanted $175. I got both seats thrown in for an extra $125, total $300. I'm happy.
